He wants players with the skill to bat against spin under pressure - not batsmen who panic.

That means the next generation of England batsmen will be sent to India on special training camps.

Flower said: "The capitulation of the middle-order was extremely disappointing. It was a combination of batsmen not handling the pressure and not being skilful enough to deal with the spinners. We've come up way short. We have to change England's traditional limitations against spin. Certainly, by the time we come back for the one-day series in 14 months' time, we have to look at things very differently."

"We must make sure everyone really learns and benefits. The players here have given their best but they have shown a lack of skill," added Flower.

Flower added: "We have to look at our selection and some of our training methods. We all weren't good enough."
